Lindsay Lohan, Coat Thief

A Columbia co-ed wants to know how Lindsay Lohan ended up wearing her $11,000 blond mink coat - and is demanding the “Mean Girl” pay for the impromptu rental. Masha Markova, 22, believed she had forever lost the prized jacket - a gift from her grandmother - while attending a private birthday party at 1Oak in the Meatpacking District in the early-morning hours of Jan. 26. The club was closed for a friend of jet-setting playboy Stavros Niarchos, Markova said.

She added that at one point, she was seated next to Lohan, and recalled putting the mink in a common bin with other jackets. It was gone when she prepared to leave 1Oak after an hour, Markova said. Two weeks later, Markova flipped through the Feb. 11 edition of OK! Magazine and couldn’t believe her eyes - Lohan was photographed the night of Jan. 26 wearing the very same fur coat. “I was actually talking on the phone to my grandmother about something else, and then I flipped through the magazine, saw the picture said, ‘I need to call you back,’ ” Markova told The Post yesterday.

“It was my coat. It was no doubt!” The pretty co-ed said that in the ensuing days, she surfed the Internet and found several paparazzi photos of Lohan wearing the distinctive blond coat hours after the birthday party they had both attended. Also, celebrity blogs posted pictures of the actress party-hopping that night - wearing a black coat before she arrived at 1Oak, Markova said.

The article goes on to say that after Markova called the restaurant, got ignored, and then hired her own lawyer, the coat was mysteriously returned (she got a call from the restaurant saying "We're going to bring you something," and then it appeared).  It stank, naturally, given Lohan's being a smokestack and a boozehound and all, and it was ripped, and had to be cleaned and patched.  You can guess whether Lindsay was kind enough to tuck a check into the pocket when she returned the coat, to cover its repair.  Markova wants $10,000 for the "unauthorized rental."

What the hell?  What an a-hole, seriously.  (Lohan, not Markova.)  This woman has enough money to buy her own mink farm if she wants (don't tell Pink, though).  But apparently she's such an entitled little princess that she just can't wait five seconds to get her hands on what she wants, even if that means taking it from someone else without their knowledge or permission.  Gross.  She ought to pay that 10k , apologize profusely, and be glad she's not going to jail for larceny.
